The fire festival of BELTANE on May 1st commences the season of LIGHT. The ancient Celts revered fire and deemed it a potent, magical element…
Being as such, transformation and “burning out” residue of unhealthy, unhelpful energies is available! A ‘purification’ process awaits!
The festival of Beltane also ushers in the themes of fertility, fairy activity, passion, and being connected to the body and to Mother Earth, who witnesses our dance and hears our deepest desires. Are you ready to be seen?
YOGA IS PRAYER. At Beltane, we have an opportunity to re-direct our focus into what is blooming and coming alive in our bodies…what a vehicle of beauty!
What better way to enhance this special holiday than with the prayerful act of yoga around a ceremonial fire!
The act of prayer, of opening the heart in devotion and gratitude for All That Is, works to ritualize our lives and brings hope to the collective…
Gathering in a sacred way outside under the loving gaze of maple, pine, birch and apple trees, stokes the fires of transformation and healing. Together, we collide with the natural world and sanctify our hearts and the land beneath our feet!
